hey a small request:

don't use fucking LLMs or generative "A.i." for anything. they destroy your brain. they're wide open to manipulation by right wing billionaires. they're full of lies. they're based on theft.

just say no.

They've destroyed every hospital, but, incredibly, there are people not coming to rallies because they're worried about hurting someone's feelings. I have to ask, what are you doing with your lives? Is there a point to you? Sort yourself out.

I just learned some detail of the Wounded Knee Massacre.

I kind of wish I didn’t.

Australia has its own massacres.

Indigenous people in both nations, I don’t know how they reconcile having to live among the people who colonised their lives.

NOPE, I don't think people should worship a dead guy, but the message is clear: Bibles aren't books, they're libraries of 66 books. Does every common reader come to the conclusion there's more than a few things more horrific in the Old Testament than the New Testament? This preacher thinks so! 👇

❇️ We hate Trump.
❇️ He ran casinos to bankrupt the needy then shilled his way to the top.
🆘 BUT let's stop pretending Biden didn't just green-light the bombing of 50,000+ civilians, squandered our resources, and displaced millions.

Is Luigi Mangione proof America wants a revolution?
